Format Depth Spectrum
The Format Depth Spectrum ranks repurposing outputs by how much transformation they require, from shallow format swaps to deep re-synthesis. Shallow outputs, like converting a blog post to a PDF, cost little but add minimal new value. Deep outputs, like turning a podcast into a search-optimized article with fresh data, require more effort but compound SEO authority and AI citability. Agencies use this spectrum to price work and allocate effort: high-volume, low-margin shallow work anchors retainers, while deep work justifies premium fees. For example, a client's webinar can become a blog post (shallow) or a series of answer-focused pages targeting AI engines (deep), the latter aligning with the shift toward AEO-driven traffic. Tools like Designrr handle shallow conversions, while AmpiFire automates distribution, but neither replaces the strategic judgment of choosing depth per asset.
